Shipping and Delivery Policy

When the Order is placed on the Website, for the ‘Available’ items, we usually dispatch the same within 3 working days of the order placed. For the rest of the items, the product will be dispatched within 5-6 weeks after the order placed. Delivery time will depend on the distance and place of your location which may vary from place to place. The Items are delivered between Monday to Saturday. Once your shipment is ready for dispatch, you will be notified via email.
You may also get a call from the Courier Company/ Logistics partner confirming the tentative date and the time of delivery. However, as we do not have any direct control over the courier partners/ logistics partner, we cannot guarantee that they will act only in certain manner or will necessarily call before getting your order for delivery. For the safety of the goods during the transit and unpredictable and multiple handling at times, we secure most of the goods with wooden crates. We understand that these crates make the packaging bulky, however they are absolutely necessary for securing the product. These crates may cause some inconvenience to the customer but are unavoidable. We are using different logistical partners for delivering your product depending on your
location and product. The delivery/ logistics partner will deliver the goods till a truck can reach. So it is important that you coordinate with the transporter so that you can arrange necessary manpower/ arrangements especially in case of heavy furniture items. If you have any queries/ concerns regarding delivery of your shipment please contact sales@portsidecafe.com before placing the order. Company has the right to use any logistical partner without any prior notice.
The delivery personnel are not directly employed with PortsideCafe and in no way concerned with product and its details. You are also requested to cooperate with the delivery person for the smooth delivery of the products. We are not responsible for any kind of altercation and /or losses through the logistical partners.
